Ever wonder how a deli inside a brewery becomes a heartbeat for a whole town? We sit down with Courtney of Salvador Deli to discuss the rise of Vero Beach’s airport district—Sova—and the creative spirit that runs through it all. From late-night “did I turn the oven off?” panic to the joy of a packed-lunch rush, this is a candid look at craft, community, and momentum.

Courtney shares how being born here shaped her view of Vero as one of the last great American towns—where you recognize faces at the grocery store and still discover new corners every month. Inside Walking Tree Brewery, Salvador Deli surprises first-time visitors with a soaring space, a steady lunch-to-dinner cadence, and a growing catering arm that thrives on rehearsal dinners and nonprofit events. We unpack the power of collaboration through local partners, a wine-paired walk at McKee Botanical Garden, and hands-on science with ORCA’s pollution-mapping, which brings lagoon health to the table.

Art isn’t a backdrop here; it’s the point. The walls feature pieces from local creators, a striking young Dalí portrait, a bold kitchen mural, and even cat portraits that add wit and warmth. As Halloween nears, Cowboys and Aliens sets a playful theme, and the neighborhood energy keeps building. If you haven’t stopped by yet, come with an open mind; you’ll find inventive sandwiches, a welcoming crew, and neighbors ready to point you to your next favorite spot in Sova.
